Canon PowerShot G1 X II Full Specifications, Features and Images

11th February 2014By dcnadmin

Canon PowerShot G1 X II full specifications list leaked just after we’ve seen the first images of the digital compact camera. The PowerShot G1 X replacement camera to be announced tomorrow on February 12.

The upcoming PowerShot G1 X II camera will be slimmer and will lose the optical viewfinder. The G1 X successor expected to feature a 24-120 f/2-3.9 lens and priced around $700.

Best Buy already listed the camera for pre-order. Below are the final specifications for the Canon PowerShot G1 X II compact camera.

A camera’s image sensor resolution measured in millions of tiny dots (pixels). Effective megapixels — the number of megapixels actually used to capture the image — is typically slightly lower than the number of total available megapixels.

Megapixels (Total)

15.0

Image Resolution

Up to 4160 x 3120

The clarity of a digital image, determined by multiplying the number of pixels wide by the number of pixels high (e.g., 640 x 480).

Optical Zoom

5x

This is your lens’ true zoom capability. The lens does the work by reducing or enlarging the field of view. The greater the optical zoom, the closer you can get to the subject you are shooting.

Digital Zoom

4x

This is not true zoom, it is merely simulating zoom by enlarging the existing image’s pixels by cropping. The actual length of the lens does not change. Digital zooming results in reduced image quality, and should generally be avoided or turned off on your camera altogether. Optical zoom is recommended to ensure crisp, detailed photos.

Lens Features

Wide-angle lens with dual control rings and 9-blade aperture

Lens Focal Length(s)

35mm equivalent 24 – 120mm

The distance (in millimeters) from a camera’s image sensor to its lens, usually given in terms of the 35mm (film camera) equivalent. Cameras with optical zoom have a range of focal lengths, while cameras without optical zoom have a fixed focal length.

LCD Screen Size

3″

Size of the LCD screen, in inches, measured diagonally from corner to corner.

LCD Screen Features

Capacitive touch-panel LCD with tilting design

Viewfinder

LCD only

Provides the photographer with an approximation of what the lens is seeing. In addition to a conventional optical viewfinder, most digital cameras also provide a color LCD panel.

Image Stabilization

Yes, optical

Digitally compensates for camcorder shake so videos appear steady.

Face Detection

Yes

Burst Mode

Yes

Also referred to as continuous shooting, burst mode captures multiple shots in rapid succession with a single click of the shutter. This is a useful feature when shooting subjects in motion.

Number of images that can be stored on a digital camera’s built-in memory and/or included removable memory cards. This number varies depending on the resolution of each image. The higher the resolution of the image, the more storage space it takes up.

The rate (typically measured in fractions of a second) at which a camera shutter opens and closes to capture an image. Slow shutter speeds are used for low-light conditions, while faster speeds are best for action shots.

Aperture Range

f/2 – f/3.9

The range, expressed in f-stop numbers, from a camera’s largest lens opening setting to its smallest. The greater this range, the more manual control and creative license available to the photographer in regard to light and focus.

Settings that assess and compensate for color conditions in any given lighting to ensure true-to-life color. Most digital cameras feature automatic white balance settings as well as the option to manually override such settings.

Measurement of a digital camera’s light sensitivity, which is equivalent to a conventional camera’s film speed. The higher the ISO, the clearer the image in low-light conditions.

Camera Dock

Not included

File Formats

JPEG, RAW, MP4, DPOF

Image Storage Capacity

Varies

Number of images that can be stored on a digital camera’s built-in memory and/or included removable memory cards. This number varies depending on the resolution of each image. The higher the resolution of the image, the more storage space it takes up.

Imaging Sensor Type

CMOS

Type of element used to convert light into a digital image. The most common types are CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor).

Imaging Sensor Size

1.5″

Size of the CCD or CMOS image sensor, usually measured in fractions of an inch (e.g., 1/1.8″ or 2/3″). In general, the larger the sensor, the better the picture quality.

Touchscreen

Yes

Color Category

Black

HD Movie Mode

Yes

Smile Mode

Yes

Shockproof

No

Waterproof

No

Coldproof

No

Low-Light/High Sensitivity

Yes

WiFi enabled

Yes

Canon PowerShot G1 X II Features

Through a wide-angle lens for precise zooming and accuracy. The lens features dual control rings for customized functions similar to SLR lenses and a 9-blade aperture for beautiful, blurred backgrounds.

3″ capacitive touch-panel LCD

Makes it easy to navigate features and displays images in crisp, bright detail. The tilting design lets you achieve an ideal view of the screen from multiple angles.

Allows you to capture dynamic, fast-motion events at up to 5.2 fps. Face detection isolates subjects in-frame and optimizes conditions, letting you take high-quality pictures of friends and family members.

With auto, on, slow synchro and off modes provides efficient illumination, so you can capture clear, properly lit images.

High-speed autofocus

Improves focusing speed, letting you quickly hone in on subjects from as close as 2″.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Enables the wireless transfer of photos and videos to compatible mobile devices, select social networking sites and Wi-Fi-enabled computers and lets you remotely operate the camera using an enabled cell phone or tablet.

Built-in NFC (near-field communication)

Allows you to pair the camera and your compatible Android device with just 1 touch.

Multicard slot

Supports Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity and SDXC memory cards (not included), so you can store plenty of photos and videos.
